As for Lin Yu's opinion, neither Bibi Dong nor Chrysanthemum Douluo had any intention of asking.
After all, a marriage contract is just a contract, and whether it would come to pass was still uncertain!
Lin Yu's engagement to Ning Rongrong was merely a show of goodwill from the Spirit Hall—not a binding agreement. What happens in the future would depend on the circumstances.
If it doesn't go through, Lin Yu won't lose anything.
If it does happen, wouldn't it be great to be the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan? He could just cozy up to a rich little girl and skip the struggle!
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan's visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was to represent the Spirit Hall in courting their favor. At the very least, he needed to convey this sentiment to Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Yu's engagement with Ning Rongrong essentially formed an unofficial agreement. If Ning Fengzhi was willing to collaborate with the Spirit Hall in the future, then the engagement would naturally be honored. If not, it would be quietly forgotten.
With this main goal achieved, the sparring match concluded, and Ning Fengzhi arranged for Lin Yu and the others to tour the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Meanwhile, he and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan, accompanied by Sword Douluo Chenxin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, continued to discuss deeper matters regarding potential cooperation.
"Ah Yu, how do you feel about getting engaged to the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan? I hear they're quite wealthy. Are you happy?"
After leaving the arena, Hu Liena walked beside Lin Yu, her tone laced with jealousy.
She had no idea that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan had suddenly facilitated the engagement between Lin Yu and Ning Rongrong. However, she suspected it must have been at her teacher's behest.
But she had been the first to take an interest!
Hu Liena felt a pang of bitterness. She had been trying to recruit Lin Yu to cultivate him as her right-hand man, only to have him snatched away by a little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. It was infuriating!
"Honestly, Senior Sister Liena, this was all quite sudden for me. I'm baffled, but I can't say I'm thrilled. Even though I'm an auxiliary soul master, I don't like living off others!"
Lin Yu replied, feeling a bit helpless at Hu Liena's possible jealousy.
"What if the little princess is really beautiful?"
Hu Liena asked, skeptical.
"No matter how beautiful she is, I'm sure she can't compare to you, Senior Sister!"
Lin Yu flashed a clever smile, his expression serious.
"You little smooth talker, you sure know how to flatter!"
Hu Liena couldn't help but laugh, her mood lifting as she felt satisfied by his compliment.
After all the care and effort she'd put in over the past year, it wasn't in vain!
Nearby, Yan watched with a heavy heart.
Ever since this kid Lin Yu showed up in Spirit City, his goddess had been glued to him.
It wasn't like Lin Yu was more than an auxiliary soul master, just a bit younger than him!
How he envied that kid!
Under the guidance of several disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Lin Yu and his group explored the area.
Along the way, Lin Yu had expected Ning Rongrong to come join them. After all, with her personality, she wouldn't easily submit upon learning of their engagement.
But perhaps the news hadn't reached her yet, or she hadn't had the chance to be alone.
So, as evening approached, they still hadn't seen Ning Rongrong.
After that, Lin Yu's group prepared to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Despite Ning Fengzhi's warm invitation to stay for a meal, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan politely declined, and they boarded the carriage to depart.
As they left, Lin Yu glanced back out the window and spotted a little girl in a beautiful blue gown, standing beside Ning Fengzhi. She had her hands on her hips, glaring at the departing carriage.
That little girl… must be Ning Rongrong, he thought, stroking his chin.
Once they left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, they stopped to rest for a night in Heaven Dou City.
That night, Lin Yu once again secretly changed his identity, leaving his new Taiqing clone in the hotel room. He equipped the clone with enough Mirage Dragon Qi before heading out.
Although Mirage Dragon Qi was a soul skill, it was different from those in the Douluo Continent. Once generated, as long as soul power was maintained, it wouldn't dissipate.
With the Taiqing clone equipped with sufficient Mirage Dragon Qi, Lin Yu didn't worry about the clone being exposed in the Spirit Hall.
Afterward, Lin Yu remained in Heaven Dou City, or rather, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Meanwhile, the Taiqing clone continued following the Spirit Hall's convoy, leaving the city.
Three months flew by in the blink of an eye.
Soon it would be time for the next live stream to begin.
During this time, Lin Yu didn't waste the third soul skill attached to his Dual Pupils Eye. Instead, he seized the opportunity to mark Tang San mentally in the blacksmith shop.
With this mental mark, Lin Yu managed to track Tang San's location.
As he suspected, it was indeed in one of his predicted spots—the residence of the Strength Clan!
But there were more people there than just Tang San and his father Tang Hao. Yu Xiaogang was present as well, along with that scoundrel Dai Mubai!
Now that was interesting!
Among the people he despised most on the continent, the three were now gathered together.
Lin Yu immediately plotted how to deal with them.
However, he needed to think it through and use the exposure from the live stream to make the most of the situation!
Finally, as the twenty-second live stream was about to commence, Lin Yu sat by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, waiting.
As the clock struck ten, an invisible wave swept across the entire Douluo Continent.
Suddenly, everyone was pulled into the live stream.
When his vision went black and then cleared, the familiar deep, starry void appeared before everyone's eyes.
Simultaneously, a holographic screen materialized in front of them.
[Meng Shu: Haha! The twenty-second livestream has finally started! I hope I can keep up my good work this time!]
[Huyan Zhen: Hmph! What's there to show off about? You only got third place in the last round!]
Seeing Meng Shu's excitement, Huyan Zhen felt a twinge of jealousy.
[Meng Shu: Hehe, but it seems Lord Tianxiang hasn't even placed third yet, has he? Oh! Wait, isn't the punishment you received one of the harshest?]
Huyan Zhen's face darkened at Meng Shu's subtle jab.
[Dai Tianfeng: Hmph! Step aside, everyone! This time, our Star Luo Royal Family will claim first place in the Q&A!]
